services to a proposed canada peckers industry end live beardmore company begs leave to report tour committee met three times as a committee four committee and the company representatives met twice it was mutually agreed f fief municipalities were in the bus i ness of supplying services and industry were m live business of manufacturing to expect industry to also provide the services would take their products out of the competitive field no guarantee is possible on the life of the business but it has been noted beardmores have been in acton over 100 years ntt canada packers have been in business almost as long on the other hand the committee has pointed out to company officials that no guarantee can be offered that the present rate structure will remain unchanged total cost of the construction of the industrial sewage treat ment plant has been estimated at 300000 by competent engineers this plant would treat an estimated 300 000 gallons of sewage daily for 365 days from beardmores plus 150 000 gallons of sewage daily for 250 days from canada packer s plant and an extra 150 000 gallons from beardmores for 104 days note the extra 150 000 gallons from beardmores for 104 days will be the saturdays and sundays that canada packers is not in operation this will give a minimum flow of 450 000 gallons daily throughout the year the present by law calls for the puc to pay 100 of all capital costs dealing with water and 50 of all capital costs dealing with sewage the rate structure as presently con stituted applies 50 of the total revenue derived to th operation of the water department and 50 to the operation of the sewage department capital cost to town average 26 163 annually this would be apportioned 1 3 0b i 50 on the general lax rate for a period of 20 years and the p u c 1 3 08 1 50 per year for a period of 20 years all revenue would be collected by the puc es follows cp 300 000 gals water daily for 250 days 11250 00 this would be- applied to general revenue and not have to be applied against any debenture issue cp 300 000 gals sewage daily for 250 days 11250 00 beardmore 300 000 gals sewage daily for 365 days 16 425 00 150000 gals sewage daily for 104 days 2 340 00 total revenue for sewage total cost capital maintenance estimate total surplus to p u c 3001500 13 081 50 15000 00 28 081 50 1 933 50 it can be seen from this that total surplus to the puc amounts to 13 183 50 yearly which will offset the 50 capital charge applied against trtatmill rate this involves an amending by law by the town revising the present break down of revenue from the sale of sewers and water service this will not affect present domestic and other industrial rates by the preceedmg figures we feel the industrial treatment plant can be installed at no cost
